Optional
Volvo Penta Interceptor System The Volvo Penta interceptor system is a trim system that uses interceptors installed on the transom to act on a boat's running characteristics and provide a safer, more comfortable passage regardless of weather conditions. The IS system affects a boat's running characteristics at speeds of ≈10 knots and above. Each interceptor has a blade that extends by varying amounts, depending on the preferred effect, and trims the boat in three axes. The IS system is available in two versions, manual and auto. Manual means the helmsman controls the interceptor blades using control buttons. Auto means the system is pre-calibrated and interceptor blade control is completely automatic to provide optimum safety and comfort. For further information refer to Operation page 56:
